The Invisible Boyfriend by Liftkid(m): 6:27pm On Mar 11, 2017
Its a story of an unknown young boy whose writing skills gained fame on social networks , loved by many, wooed by many, fell for all but later settled with one.












[b]The Invisible boyfriend episode 1








I sat next to my cousin Dinho on a couch,with an undivided attention Entertaining the Real football game he was playing with his Nokia E7.

I focused on the screen without blinking my eyes. I was so engrossed in the game like I was watching Uefa Champions league final. I was still receiving the pleasure when I heard my "TOCHI!". I pretended like i didn’t hear it, before I could stare at the phone again, my
brother shouted Tochi the second time. I was infuriated at once but that anger must not be shown to avoid answering questions. So, I had to conceal the anger with a smile. I stood up. Wore that fake smile and headed to his room.

” Didn’t you hear your name ?” he asked.
” No, I didn’t hear it ” I replied.
” Why would you hear when you are busy playing game?” he asked.
This is the reason why I refused
acquiring you browsing enable phone, Please, Go and buy recharge card for me with the money I kept on top of the table. I picked the money and Left the room angrily.
Could this be the reason why He refused buying me a browsing enable phone ?, I asked myself. Lie lie he is just stingy I answered myself.

I ran to the nearest Voucher dealer ,
Unfortunately for me she didn’t open.
Gosh! What’s all these ? I had to cross to
the other side of the road. I crossed the
road without looking at my left and right
like I was taught in primary school via
ZEBRA CROSSING. I purchased the card
and ran home as if I was running a competitive race. I ran like the fastest man, USAIN BOLT.
Before I could Settle down my cousin have stopped playing the game. You see wetin this guy My Elder brother) caused now.

I sat down quietly and leaned my head
on Dinho’s shoulder . Before I could type
”Tochi” he fetched his phone from his pocket and clicked menu. Woah! I exclaimed in my mind, Maybe he paused the game for me to come back.
The menu appeared, He clicked on Apps
and the apps loaded. Real football was
the first app I saw. I expected him to open it but he kept scrolling down. He got to one app “ESKIMI” and clicked open. I thought the app to be game but It wasnt . I kept mute some minutes before I broke the silence.
” Brother Dinho, Please continue the game ” I said.
”Boy Relax I want to chat with my girlfriend, I ll continue later ”.
Chat ? I wondered. What type of chat is he talking about ? To Talk in a friendly
way ? Is there any girl here ? All these
questions were racing my mind and I
recalled the saying ” HE WHO ASK QUESTIONS DOESN’T MISS ROAD ”. I summoned courage and asked him where the girl was and the type of Chat he meant.

Ozuwo! ( abusive word in Benin
language) I meant to converse with one or more people through the Internet. The girl dwell here In Ibadan, though, we haven’t seen face to face.
Brother, let me see her photo. He clicked on the girl’s profile picture and viewed.
Hmmmm she is really pretty, Ivcomplimented.

” Yes nau, I dont deal with Ugly chicks. ”
” But You haven’t seen her, Do you know if she is disabled ?” I asked!
” Not at all! I’m sure she is alright, I have hundreds of her pictures in my file ”. He responded.
” Brother, I still dont believe it. She might be impersonating someone else. ” I replied.
” No, she is Real. Its not possible to get
hundreds photos of someone else. ” He answered.
” Brother, but do you think she truly love you ” ? I asked
” Yes she do. She always call, text, and
chat me. She cant go a day without hearing from me.
” Ehen? Fine guy! I complimented!
But, I still dont believe in this kind of
relationship. She might be a ghost, I complained.
”Ghost keh? U attended Cactizim Class in
the east, if am not wrong?” he asked.
” Yeah I did.”
” Kedu ife bu muo?” Which means what’s spirit ? He asked.
” Muo bu ife di adi, di ndu n’enweghi
ahu, adighi ahu ya anya ma obu nu olu
ya ma obu metu ya aka. ”
Spirit is in existence but can’t be seen,
heard or touched. I answered as I was taught.
” Very good he replied. i have seen her
pictures, heard from her and I will touch
her pretty soon. He added. ”
I was convinced immediately. Before I
could say a word again, he landed one
hot punch on my muscle. “You think say
na you and chinedu dey talk ba ?” He asked jokingly.
I ran into my room instantly to avoid
receiving more blows. I love dat brother
butt he always blow person.
I laid down on my bed, memorizing all
the discussions I had with brother Dinho.
I have longed to have a girlfriend but
couldn’t talk to one cause am always
afraid of hearing That word No.

I must persuade my brother to buy me a
browsing enable phone when going back
to the east, Maybe I will meet my own girlfriend
online like my big brother did.

EPISODE TWO!!
















[b]Life in OYO was heaven on earth. All the days I spent there was enjoyable, full of unforgettable sweet memories. Like the slogan of the City ” Pace Setter state” It was quite peaceful. No crisis, no traffic jam. Roads are always free, Unlike Lagos state that I will spend hours in a vehicle for 20 minutes journey.

Days graduated to weeks, weeks to months. Before I knew it, I was notified that school will resume in the upper week .
That Sunday evening, I was at OluIbadan
stadium, Observing Market club Cup final between Aleshinloye market and seven days live. My Cousins, were in both teams. Dinho, Was the striker and team captain of Aleshinloye while Nonso was a defender of seven days team.


Dinho, was brought down by Nonso my other cousin) 5 minutes before the first half, and the referee awarded them a freekick.

He was about playing the freekick when my phone rang, I glanced at the caller, it was no other person but my Twin brother from another parents. Taataboy, the guy I
like more than money. We hail from the same town, born the same year, same month, same week. I ought he wanted to beep me as usual but He called the second time and I picked it.


” Hello! My paddy! ” I hailed

” Guy, I dey! You just forget me na! ” he responded

I was about answering him when I heard
Gooooal!. I shouted goal! Stimuetously
with other fans, forgetting that I was on call.

“Guy, Wetin dey worry you na ? That ur
area is noisy. Where u dey sef?” He asked.

I suppose he was angry due to the way
he asked those questions.

Wetin dey vex dis one? I’m burning #100
recharge card he managed to load, I reasoned.


” Hahahaha Guy no vex o, I dey stadium
” I responded.

”Nawao! U just dey enjoy life na” who
scored ? He asked!

”Guy na dat my brother Dinho) wey sabi
play pass Jayjay Okocha.”

”Guy no dey whine me, he sabi play like
that and he never play Nigeria under 17 ” he asked.

” Taata, You know say without Connection in Nigeria you no dey go anywhere? ” if to say we get connection he go don go far.” I responded.


“Guy, My card don finish Jo! I dey enter vila this week Saturday.”

”okay nah! I dey enter A week today
(nxt Sunday) ”.


”Ehen! I forget to tell you say I don buy new phone”

“New phone ? I asked instantly”

“yes, Nokia c1” he replied

“Is it browsing enable phone?” I enquired.

”Yes! I downloaded Realfootball ”

before I could say a word again, he hung
up. Hmm, taata boy bought a new phone ? Nokia C1?

I almost felt jealous but I didn’t because I know he wont Deprive me of phone, Should I demand to use it. But I must buy mine, there is no dignity in begging. I was still thinking how am
going to buy the browsing enable phone
when my standard message tone Rang.
I checked my inbox, It was my friend
Taataboy. " Please call me back ". I Wished
I could call him back but due to
insufficient airtime I was unable to
reach him. Then, I rarely recharge and there was nothing like mtn loan. I had to ignore and continue with the match I came to watch.

Whistle was blown Immediately and that was the end of first half. Second half kicked off Some minutes later. They duo teams played well. The ball position was 50:50 at the end but
that Lone goal from my Cousin Dinho, Won the trophy For Aleshinloye Market.


I ran and embraced him as he stepped out of the field. I was so happy and proud to have such a cousin.

“The Nigerian Dinho” I complimented.
To cut the lofty Story short, They were
crowned the champions and my cousin
Dinho was awarded the best player of the tournament.

We left The stadium for Premier Hotel
with the team, My cousin took me along.
We ate and drank. I was so excited, the fun was much.I left when my bro almost ruined my battery with calls.

Tomorrow morning, I went to shop with
my brother. That day, God did it for us,
and We excelled. In the evening he took me to cocodum to buy me a phone. I was so happy, Thank God I followed him, the chances of buying me browsing enable phone was high.


He asked me to make my choice when
we got there. Without second thought,I
shouted Nokiac1.
Thank God there wasn’t any babe around
us, the baby wouldn’t have escaped
convoction. My brother starred at me one kind.

“I dont have Nokia C1″ the dealer said.
He was about touching one china Phone
when I left. I took the lead like I was the
one buying the phone.


In my mind, ”Mtchew! Na me U wan give
dat Chinco ? Give it to that your pretty
daughter there”
we went to another place. That man
really provoked me. He said there wasn’t
any phone with that model. Maybe, Taata
dont know the model of the phone he
bought or he was playing pranks.
Bro, lets check one More place I said with a low tone. Fortunately for me the man have the
phone.

My elder brother: “How much is the phone? ”


Phone dealer: its #12000


my elder: ” I will give you 6 k”


phone dealer: its 9k last.


Tochi lets go was the next thing I heard.
Nawaoo alaroro!.

EPISODE THREE







[b]Like my people always say, ” DO IHU EBE IDORO AZU ” (face where your back is ). We turned back so we could go home. My mood changed Instantly, I felt like an Incumbent president that Lostvelection, I felt like a boy whom lost a girlfriend to his enemy. I was so exasperated but Habitually, I concealed anger with a fake smile and followed my big brother.


I was walking and counting my steps ,
anticipating to hear “CUSTOMER COME”. Before We could reach the Exit Gate, I heard it but My brother increased his speed like he was in a haste. In my mind, “Nawao! does it mean he
didn’t hear the man Abi he no wan buy again?

You must not escape brother. ” I walked up to him and said.

“Brother, The man is calling you”

“What’s he saying ?” he asked.

“He said We should come back” I replied.

” Lets go, Its getting late and I have a choir practice to attend. Dont worry Yourself, I will buy you browsing enable phone” he assured me.

” Forget that Thing, its easy said than
done ” I Said


I wanted to murmure it but due to how
Inflamed I was, I said it out. Thank God he didn’t hear me oo! He was truly in a haste, if not he would have heard me.

He handed me 100 naira Note and left. I
boarded a taxi frm Cocodom to my residence. I alighted when we got to my gate, have my bill paid, entered the house, unlocked the door and sat on the sofa in our parlour. While I sat on the
sofa, I couldn’t think of any other thing apart frm havin a girlfriend, which seem a big deal to me hence, I can’t talk to one.

After some minutes, I entered my room and lied down to think deep.Like people will always say,a journey of a thousand mile begins with buying a shoe. I cuddled my pillow as if it was a girl and began to practice how to woo a girl.

” Hello Babe ”

” how are you ?”.

I’m Tochi fortune, I hail from anambra
state Bla bla. I was still doing my practice when someone knocked on the door.

” Na who be that one ?” I asked.

” Its your brother, come and open the door for me. ” he responded.

” Alright Brother, I coming. ”

I raised, headed to the entrance door and
opened the door for him.

” Have you eaten ” He asked!

” Yeah brother ” I lied.

In my mind. ” Food my foot, I’m talking about buying a browsing enable phone and getting a girlfriend and his talking of food. whofoodepp?


I retired To my bed to continue the personal assignment but, before I could think of anything, Nature Performed its wonders and I found myself at the wonderland. I was still sleeping when my phone rang, I opened my eyes to glance at the caller. LO & BEHOLD It was ” Bro Stanley “.


Brother Stanley ? Why is he callin? Hevshould be in his room na. I reasoned.
I looked at my clock, It says 8:45am . Chai I don enter trouble. I picked the call immediately .

” Brother goodmorning ” I greeted

” Morning ” he replied.

” Where are you ? ” he asked.

” I just Came out of the bathroom” I Lied.

” Alright. Is there light ? He enquired ”

” Yeah ” I replied.

” Okay, stay at home and enjoy yourself.


I kept 500 Naira ontop of the fridge, Use
it to buy anything You want. ” he replied.

” Thanks brother ” I greeted!

He hung up immediately. I was so
excited, I didn’t know when I bounced
ontop of my bed. I jubillated like I did
when CHELSEA Won Uefa champions league.

I did some chores, brushed, had my bath, changed & ate breakfast.
I Inserted D season film I bought and began to watch. After the first episode, I lost interest in the movie. I couldn’t Concentrate again, The taught of S-x kept flooding my mind. That Phrase ” IDLENESS IS A SIN ” was debunked thatvday. I ought of anything a h---y man could
think of. Idle men and some House wives are really trying.


I wished I have a girlfriend but have none. Traditionally, I laid down to nap. I was taught that Sleeping when h---y can avoid rape attempt. Immediately I shutvmy eyes to sleep, I heard a knock on my door.

OH MY GOD! which kind wahala be this
nau ?


” Who are you ” ? I verified.

” I’m Patience ” the person replied.

” Patience ? I dont know any patience. ” I replied.

“I’m aunty Jacintha sis” she replied


Aunty Jc ? Chai so na my Brother’s
fiancee Junior sis. Without further questions, I opened the door for her. She was carrying a luggage.

” Goodafternoon ” she greeted.

” Afternoon dear ” I replied.

The girl was really pretty. Very tall and fair. We sat opposite each other and the starring game commenced. I was starringvat the image she is made of, her Long hair, firm butt and long legs. The reason why she was starring at me too I
couldn’t predict.
after some mintunes, I leaned close

” Patience, Are you From Imo ? ” I asked.

” Yeah, but based in Ph ” she replied.

“You are from Anambra right?” she
enquired.

” Yeah, Bro Stanley is my Elder bro. I
replied

” Why are you here and who directed
you to our house ? ” I asked

“I came all the way from ph to see my
Sis, Aunty Jc. bro Stanley directed me. ” she replied.

” Alright dear” I replied


I glanced at her red lips, Chai it was Too
enticing to kiss.

Episode Four










I was very eager to kiss her. Getting my first kiss from such a pretty fair damsel with cute red lips will be a pleasure. But then, something discouraged me, I ought it to be set up. So, I kept my cool and stayed back. But she continue stealing glances.
Nawao! But why is she starring at me ? Maybe we are thinking the same thing.vThis time, I was inspired to make the move Not minding the consequence.
Yeah, I ll take risk, even if it result a hot
slap at the end I wouldn’t mind. Besides its just the both of us.
I leaned very close, touching her with my body but have no Idea on what to do next. Should I ask her to kiss me ?

Hmmm. It seem easy and bold thing to
do, but it may never work, I reasoned.

I ought of reaching my mouth towards her red lips but couldn’t. She may move her head away instantly. I reasoned.

After several thoughts, I came up with a
new plan. I placed my arm around the couch but she didn’t talk or move. After some minutes of silence, I touched her fingers and began to play with her nails. But She didn’t say a word.

Then, I broke the silence, I Lowered my voice and Complimented her.


” Patience You are really pretty ” I said passionately.

” Thanks ” she reciprocated softly .

That her angelic voice and the way she
reciprocated that THANKS encouraged me
to Plant a small kiss on her cheek. I starred at her and she look shocked. Before I could blink my eyes, My left hand found its way to her long hair andvand I began to caress it gently. I was
caressing her hair with my left hand and stroking her fingers with the right hand. This time around I kissed her on her cheeks and almost touch her lips with mine . I Lingered for a few seconds with the kiss and she closed her eyes in pleasure. Then, I reached my mouth
towards her lips and planted a hot kiss.


Choi, I have gotten what I wanted. I was about giving her another one when I heard a knock on the door.

Chia! I detached myself from her immediately.


“Who are you ? ” I asked!


” Open the door Jo ” a female replied.

” Who are you nau ” I asked again

The next Thing I heard was Nwoke’m
open door please. Chai Na my brother and her fiancee o!


I opened the door and greeted them. We all chatted for hours before we Accompanied aunty Jacintha and her Junior sis home. I couldnt eat that Night, I was very happy. I laid down on my bed memorizing what transpired between Patience and I. It was the most
adventurous thing I ever did.


I woke up tomorrow morning being
Wednesday and prepared for shop. The
thought of buying browsing enable phone
cleared from my mind. What I have been
searching at the apex is right at the
beneath. Is there any need buying browsing phone when I already have Patience by my side? . Should I make my intentions known, she can never say No. My mind assured me.


I left home for shop that day hoping to woo her when I come back. I didn’t talk about the phone neither did my brother, maybe he has forgotten. We closed around 6pm, As usual, my brother went choir practice while I took a taxi. I
headed to aunty Jacintha apartment


ImmedIately I alighted from the taxi.
Unfortunately, their door was properly locked. I called a Lad a I met there and asked him their whereabouts.

” Aunt Jacintha travelled earlier today with her
kid sister “. He replied. I left without
saying a word. I was hurt to the bones, I felt heart broken, my dream of getting a girl in real life hindered. I went home and sat on the same couch I kissed her, calling upon her name passionately but got no response. I was still calling her name when my Phone rang, I glanced at the caller, Unknown number. I picked it


” Hello, who is on the line “I asked

” Tah Nwa ohiaagu (the son of Ohiaagu)

Na taataboy dey yawn. ” The caller replied.

” Taataboy Na You ? ” I asked.

” Yeah wetin dey sup ?” he asked.

Paddy, I just dey like say I no dey” I replied.


” Hahahaha. Guy I dey enter Vila 3days
coming, I wan go see one babe Wey I meet for 2go! ”



2go kwa ? Where be that ? I enquired.


” Brother Na Online ooo. One application
like tha, I downloaded it with that my new phone. ” he replied.


” How the 2go be na ? ” I asked!


“I go show U when u come back” he replied.
But The girl fine ?? ” I asked.


” Makachi ifu this girl ikooo (You will
fall for her at a glance ).

Nawao, she fine ? I asked again.

” She fine pass mamiwater, I can’t wait to meet her ” he replied.



I was about Saying Nawao when he hung
up. Taataboy reminded me what I have
forgotten. My Cousin Dinho met his girlfriend
online and my Twin brother from
another parents (Taataboy) have found
one.


4 days to leave and Patience have left

I sat on the Couch waiting for him to come home so I would Confront him butvSlept off after I waited for hours and he didn’t show up. I was still napping on the couch when Someone tapped me on my leg, I jumped up and screamed Jesus! I ought it was a ghost.






” Nah Now U remember Jesus ” the person said.

The voice sounded familiar, I opened my eyes Lo and behold it was my brother that I have been waiting to confront.

.
” Why didn’t You close door ? ” He asked


” I was so drowsy, I ought I closed it ” I replied .


” Alright ” he replied


I lost the passion to talk, I was speechless as I watched him enter his room. I dashed into mine and Laid down on my bed but couldn’t sleep.
After some minutes, the beast in my awoke. I stood up and headed to his room. I stopped at his door without opening his curtain and called



” Brother ” but got no response.


” Brother ” No answer .


I was infuriated at once and Called the third time .


” Brother Stanley ” no answer.





I opened his curtain gently and peeped, I
discovered he was reading his bible . Nawao! So na bible the Bros dey serious dey read. I went back to my room.
In my mind, read and mediate your bible finish am coming for you. After ten minutes, I went back to check on him.
He was still reading his bible. This time
around I didn’t enter my room, I sat on the couch in our parlour waiting for him to finish up . I was still waiting when My Phone rang.



“Taataboy Na god go punish u if na you dey call me ” I cursed. I entered my room, took my phone and glanced at the caller, It was mom. I answered the call.



” Hello Too’m ” she greeted.


” Goodevening Mom ” I replied.


” Evening dear son”she responded.


” How are you doing ” she asked.


” I’m doing great. Though am unhappy ” I replied.


She began to preach me , She preached
and preached me like she is an evangelist, forgetting that we were on call. She closed everything with ” always find a reason to be happy and be a goodvboy ”then hung up.


After mediating on her sermon, I was converted Like Saul on his way tobDamascus to persecute the earlier Christians and I cleared my mind from negative thoughts. My bro called me after
some minutes and Asked me why I was
shouting his name.


” Mom said I should extend her regard to you ” I lied.



I woke very early the next day (Thursday) and prepared for shop. God really did wonders for us that day, We made a killing. we made a bundle on each good we sold .


.I started packing at 6pm. I was packing and expecting him to talk about the phone but he said nothing related to that. I was almost done packing, when I reminded him about the phone.



” Bro, what about the phone ? ” I asked.


” I told u not to worry yourself I will buy for you ” he replied.


I faked smile at first but frowned immediately he looked away. In my mind


” kedu udi mmadu Di ifa ” (which kind
man be this) . He left for church while I packed
immediately And Went home. Maybe he
will buy for me when coming back from
Church. I reasoned .



He came home around 9pm without any phone.
Nawao so this man never buy the
phone ? I laid down my bed thinking
what to do when I remembered one
inspiration story mom narrated years
back. The story goes thus;
Once there was a small kid on earth. One

Nawao so this man never buy the phone ? I laid down on my bed thinking what to do next when I remembered one inspiration story mom narrated years back. The story goes thus;








[b] Once there was a small kid on earth. One
day he came to know that God is distributing apples to humans in his place at heaven. The kid was so happy to receive that news and he went with lot of enjoyment to heaven to get the apple from God. There was a big queue
standing to get apple from God and he also joined in that queue. His turn came and he showed his hands to receive the apple. God gave the apple but unfortunately his tiny hands couldn’t hold the big apple. Apple fell down and
got wasted in mud. The kid got so disappointed. The ministers near God informed that if the kid likes to have an apple from God again then he has to again follow the queue. Having waited
for so long the kid didn’t want to return back to earth with empty hands so he decided to wait again in the queue.
This time the queue has become even longer than the previous one. While waiting in queue, he could see lot of people who returns back with apple in hands and utmost satisfaction on their faces.
He ws so much disappointed and thought why me alone didn’t get the apple in hand when all others were easily able to get it. What is the sin I did that I alone should suffer like this. He
was so scared that he should not miss the apple again.
Again his turn came and God gave the apple to his hands and after giving the apple God spoke to the kid.



“My dear child, last time after giving u the apple only I noticed the apple I gave to you was a rotten apple and that’s why I made that to fell down from your hands. Having given u a rotten apple, I felt bad for you and I wanted to give u
the best apple in the farm and that time the best apple in the farm was growing and that’s why I made you to wait such a long time in the queue. [/b]

Having given you a rotten apple, I felt bad for you and I wanted to give you the best apple in the farm and that time the best apple in the farm was growing and that’s why I made you to wait such a long time in the queue. Here it is. Now the apple that you have in hand is ‘The Best’ apple in the farm till to date.



My Mom narrated this very story years
back without telling me the moral lessons. Then, I was very tender, I didn’t mediate it, I only laughed and clapped for mom. It seem like a trance.
Ultimately, The boy in the story was
Rewarded with the Best Apple in the farm for exercising patience . I walked in his shoes instantly and leaned that Gratitude & patience is absolutely the best way to bring more in one’s life. I assessed the story with my current
situation.
The boy Lost the apple because God noticed it has rotten and my brother didn’t buy the Nokia C1. But what could be the reason ?



” Has the phone spoilt ? ” I asked myself.




“Noo nah modern phone It can’t spoil
like that ” I answered myself.




I wondered and pondered but couldn’t
fathom any genuine reason why he didn’t buy it.
The boy Rejoined the queue which was longer that than the previous Queue after missing the first apple, I likewise, have waited for days after missing the Nokia C1. The story and my current situation are similar but one thing
Discerned them.



He Got the best apple in the farm at last but I haven’t gotten the Nokia C1 talk more of the best phone that year. I continued mediating and comparing the boy with myself Until I realised he did one thing I haven’t done.



" He waited patiently until his turn and he
was rewarded with the best apple " at this
point I concluded to exercise more patience, I promised myself never to talk about the phone, maybe I will be rewarded with de best too.
I shut my eyes and slept. before I knew it I heard a knock on my door . I was still trying to get up when I heard.



“Tochi I’m off to morning mass, your transport fare is on de table”


” Alright brother ” I replied.


I slept back and woke around 8 am only
to discover it rained . I did some chores, had my bath, brushed, wore my jeans and my jacket with my head covered and both hands in my pocket Like Americans In winter. I didn’t take a taxi that day, because I wanted survey the area.

I walked out of our gate majestically and
began to trek like Suleiman Hashimu.
Incase you dont know him, he is the man who trekked from Lagos to Abuja to Congratulate president Buhari.


I stopped briefly at Adamasigban stadium, the Home stadium for Shooting star club of ibadan and looked around. I could have taken the place pictures to show my friends in the vila but my
phone has no camera . It reminded me about the phone, nonetheless, I moved on without thinking about it twice. I stopped briefly at Queencinema, glanced at the newly built flyover and proceeded.



I arrived at the Shop around 10 am, ate
my breakfast and sat down. Market was very very dull that day. We stayed for about 2hours 30 minutes without selling a good . Around 1pm, one tall, black, handsome dude entered our shop. on seeing him, my brother Shouted ” SEGUN “, shoke him and commenced dialogue.




My bro : ” Bawoni Orem ? ” ( How are
you my friend ).


Segun : ” Mowa dada. Iwo na nko ?”. (I’m
fine and u).


My bro : ” Oda! Ope ti mo ti rie ” ( good.
Long time no see )


Segun : ” egbon, I dey ”


Mr bro : ” Kini tuntun ? ” (what’s new )


segun : I wan buy Jeans and shirt.



I sat on the chair looking at the duo like a deaf and dump. In my Mind, my brother have turned to a yoruba ooo!. Thank God for segun that changed the language to English.


Truly, Segun was sent from Heaven before I could say Tochi he bought clothes worth 7,000 naira. I was sent to buy a well refrigerated Lacasera with gala, while he packed the purchased clothes for him. After drinking the
lacasera with the gala, he stood up and left. I was surprised to see him after some few minutes . Even my brother was surprised too.



” You forget anything ? ” my brother asked


” No! Abeg where I fit sell my phone ” segun Asked.


” Which kind phone be that ” my brother asked.


” Na Nokia E7. I buy am 2months ago but I dey travel on Sunday and I need money” segun replied.


” Let me see ” my brother said.


He dipped hand into his pocket, brought
the phone out and handed it to my brother and he extended it to me.

.
” Nwoke chekia phone ahu ” Boy check
the phone out. My bro said to me.


I was about clicking menu when he asked if I like the phone. Without delay, I replied yes. He collected the phone from me.


” How much is the phone? ” he asked .


” Na 10k I wan sell am but bcox sayna U, give me 9k ” he replied.


” I no wan talk much I will give u 8k ” my bro replied.


He fetched our key from his pocket and handed it to me. Go home and bring 8,000 naira from my draw. Remember to lock it properly.


I DASHED OFF LIKE THe MAN ON DANGER
DASH. LIFE RACE NO DEY TIRE

The Invisible Boyfriend Episode7
















I continued running without looking back, like Lot and children did while running out of sodom and Gomora. I got home only to notice that my key was missing. I dipped my hand into my right pocket where I Inserted the key but
couldn’t find it, I checked my left pocket and it wasn’t there too.





Like a statue, I stood still infront of Our door when My neighbour came home and opened his own door. I felt the way the boy in the story my mom narrated to me felt when he saw others receiving apple with excitement when he lost his, and asked.





“God why me ? ”




” What sin have I committed ?”




” Where on earth could the bunch of key be ? ”




” what should I do now ? ”




All these questions were racing my mind and I was about giving up when I remembered a famous quote by my Late Teacher.




”No. Don’t give up hope just yet. It’s the last thing to do. When you have lost hope, you have lost everything. And when you think all is lost, when all is dire and bleak, there is always hope ”





I was inspired by the quote. I had to look for the key.There is still hope until I reach shop without seeing it. I turned back and began to Jog . I was jogging with my two eyes on the ground
searching for the key. I haunted for it till I got to the shop but couldn’t find it and Segun had left before I got there. I met my brother and told him that I lost the key he gave me.


” Where did you put the Key ?” he asked.


” I inserted it in my right pocket ” I replied .


” Are you sure ? ” he asked.


” I did, though I didn’t confirm if it entered ” I replied.


” Go Inside and arrange the jeans I scattered for a customer ” he commanded.


I was surprised by his response. I ought he would be mad at me. So arranging the scattered Jeans is more important than the missing bunch of key that had all our keys.
There must be an ulterior reason for keeping silent. Maybe he picked it, Who knows ?


With Immediate affect I began to arrange the jeans as he commanded . I was arranging and anticipating to hear COME AND TAKE D PHONE but heard nothing.

After arranging the Jeans, I stayed for more than 15 minutes yet no show. That was when I brokedown. I hardly cry not because I am strong but because “guys do not cry” as my father and people around me do say . But I could not hold back my tears from running down my eyes because I was left with a day to leave the city. I felt like a loser and lost all my hope to get the phone anymore . Tears was still rolling down my eyes when I heard PASTOR as he is fondly called, come and collect your
phone.

Did I just hear phone ? And Which phone is he talking about Because my brother plugged his phone inside our shop. To clear my doubts, I wiped my tears immediately and went outside.
On getting outside, my brother asked me to go and collect phone from brother Samuel, his good pal. I entered brother Samuel’s shop, Behold, he was holding the phone.


“Take and give it to your brother, the phone is really good. Its has no memory card slot but have 16 GB, 256 MB RAM, 1 GB ROM With GPS and Ovi Maps and Radio” He said.


” Nawao you have checked all these things ” I enquired .


” Yeah. Its a smartphone ” He replied .


“Nawao which one is smartphone again ?? ” I asked.


” It has 8mp camera Pixel, ask him if he want to resell it.





He was still talking when I collected the phone from him and left. In my Mind ” You want take my joy away, thunder wey go fire you still dey do press up “.



I gave the phone to my brother and he said to me






” Take it, insert your line and start using it. I wanted to buy you Nokia C1 a day after I prized it but a friend of mine told me it easily contact virus, he added that his own got spoilt a week after he bought it and I wanted the best for you that’s why it took me such a long time. Here it
is: The phone you have is second to the best this year. I’m off to church!!.








I was so so excited! I laughed and thanked him. Brother you are the best. I said.








MISSION ONE ACCOMPLISHED!!

The Invisible Boyfriend Episode 8









That was how I finally accomplished my first mission. The second commences.


My mom have been a huge Inspiration to me, Hear council kept me going. If not her Inspirational story and advise, I could have spoilt things for myself .


Now, I have Gotten a browsing Enable phone, I have to haunt for girlfriend now .
I sat down on a chair inside our shop and clicked Menu, Like Brother Dinho did that day he was playing game in our house .

Menu appeared and I clicked on Apps, Hoping to see Eskimi, but it wasn’t there. I Only saw THE AVENGERS which I Opened & closed instantly despite being a lover of game. My objective was to get a girlfriend and not to play games. I pressed back and clicked on browser.
Under the browser I found History and I am that type of person that love reading and history. I clicked on it to read and saw Redwap.



I clicked on the redwap but it refused loading, after some few second, I was told to contact my network provider for configuration settings.



Nawao! Mtn that hardly Pick calls. It would be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for one to put a successful call through to 180 Service.


I have had an awful experience of waiting to speak with a Representative a whole 1 hour, 35 minutes. Yet no Representative came up. Worst still, the connection went off.

Nonetheless, I dialed 180,Changed my preffered
language to English, and then pressed 0
(Zero) to speak with an MTNRepresentative, I was told to wait for about 15 minutes that all Representatives were currently busy. Second graduated to a minute, a minute to 2minutes before I knew it, 15 minutes reached and passed yet no Answer Instead, I was
uninterestingly being sung to, which got me angry. why can’t they be like Fidelity and keep their word ?. I was about terminating the call when I heard ” You and I was a friend ” and the person greeted. To cut the lengthy story short, I
was attended to and my phone was configured.



I was so curious to read the redwap history, I clicked on the redwap again still it didn’t open. In my mind ” Nawao shey dey phone no good or
redwap no get history ? ” I entered Url and typed http://Www.waptrick.cm yet it didn’t open, That was when I realized I have no airtime. And I had no money with me, Gosh!! I have phone now but have no data. I began to think How I will buy airtime and subscribe for Data.


” Should I ask my brother for money when i get home ? ”


” No! Every mallam with em own kettle, every aboki with em own radio. ” ( Every man for himself) ”



I will look for money myself by hook or by crook and buy airtime. I have not stolen from anyone before, My mom so much trust me, and she can defend me anywhere on earth if accused or charged for stealing. But, that moment, Only God can prevent me from stealing.



“Mom, You have always trusted me, but I have to do this, I have take a chance in crime and steal money. Please forgive me, I won’t do it afterwards ” I said silently.




Some time later, a young hausa man in his early 40s entered and and I greeted him in hausa lang.


” Sannu, Barka da rana! ” and he responded with Hausa language too. I attended to him with hausa language throughout and He was so happy about that. He bought clothes worth 5,700 naira.


Thank God ooooo! Now, I can deduct 200 naira from the money without being noticed because I made a bundle in each clothe he bought.

” Aboki do dey go, lemme go and buy card “, In my mind.



He climbed ontop of his Bajaja Motorcycle, dipped hand into his pocket, fetched neat 200 naira note and handed it to me.


” Sai Next time ” was the last thing he said and went off. I was so so happy, the 200 he gave me discouraged me from all negative thoughts. I broke a protocol that day. I rushed to the nearest Voucher dealer and bought 200 card.



That was the first day I bought card worth 200naira. I recharge and subscribed for 10mb for one day. Then, sat down and clicked on the redwap.


The next thing I saw was ” You are entering adult site. I am an adult being at least 18 years old, I warrant that it is legal to view adult material in my locale and country. I Agree or I do not agree. Visitors under 18, please use
WapKid.com ” I really wanted to see, read, and study what they are restricting from kids.


I clicked on AGREE instantly despite being under 18. What I saw is best left unsaid but it was shocking. I was still feeding my eyes when my phone shut down due to low battery.


NAWAOO SO NAH DIS THING DEY DEY
UNDER PANTS AND BRA ?

The Invisible boyfriend Episode 9



I packed and went home after my phone shut down. After charging my phone the same night, I opted to download the app my cousin dinho met his girlfriend (Esikimi).

I opened my browser, clicked on url and typed http://www.eskime.com and I was told that the url doesn’t exit. I typed http://Www.exkimi.com and clicked and got the same response

I continued trying untill I entered http://www.eskimi.com. ” Meet People and Chat Online. Eskimi is a place where people meet. Meet new people and enjoy endless conversations ” was what I saw. Woah! Finally, I am on eskimi. Let me quickly register and meet my own girlfriend.
Don’t have Eskimi account? Signup I clicked on sign up and I was told to Fill in the form and register.

Nick

Password

Gender

Date of birth:

Submit

I clicked on gender and chose male, clicked on Password and entered *******, clicked on date of birth and entered my date of birth. I got to nick but didn’t know what to put there.

I was still trying to figure out what’s required to be there when Mtn notified me that I have almost exhausted my mb.Chai The 10 mb I managed to subscribe. I exited everything instantly. In my mind, Let me quickly download real football before my mb finishes. I ll sign up Eskimi and 2go when I get to the village.

I Ticked on my browser , opened my bookmarks, clicked wapdam, Selected game, Clicked on sports, selected realfootball that year and clicked download.

I focused on my screen as the installation began. It started counting slowly in descending order but got interrupted at 50 second to save and began counting in ascending due to limited network. After sometime, network became a bit friendly and it began counting in descending again. It took about 15 minutes before it reached 50 seconds again. Before I could type Jack it reached 20 sec and I have not taken my eyes off my phone all the while. It got to 3 sec, repeated it thrice and failed. Gosh! It was so frustrating when my browser crashed in the middle of such an important download. After time wasted and mb, it failed at 3sec left to install. Maybe God wants to suffer me for Visiting p--n website and feeding my eyes with adult materials. I reasoned. But It wasn’t intentional I wanted to read history then, came across it.

Ask God for forgiveness, maybe it ll download afterwards. The spirit in my Told me and I did as it commanded. I dropped my phone, knelt down and shut my eyes.

” O Lord, JesusChrist, Redeemer and Saviour, forgive my sins, just as you forgave Peter’s denial and those who crucified You. Count not my transgressions, but, rather my tears of repentance. Remember not my iniquities, but, more especially, my sorrow for the offenses I have committed against You. I long to be true to Your Word, and pray that You will love me and come to make my game download. I promise not to visit the website and other related websites with my phone. ” I prayed silently.

After praying, I picked up my phone, clicked on the game and it started downloading, but, it got to a point and began counting in ascending order like the first one did. Hell! I must stop looking at it ” A WATCHED POT NEVER BOILS ” I dropped my phone and lied down to sleep. I woke at midnight only to notice that the game have downloaded. God have answered my prayers. Truly, a watched pot never boils. Some things work out in their own time, but, we being impatient and constantly checking will just make things seem longer. The game might fail. had it been I continued checking constantly. I opened the game, chose friendly match between my favorite Club Chelsea fc and man.u, I was beating them 2 (two) to nil when nature performed it wonders. I woke Saturday morning, my last day in Ibadan and we scheduled to visit the Zoo that day. I have always wished to see Lion, whale and elephant. After doing some chores and eating breakfast, we left house for University of Ibadan where the zoo is situated. We reached there at 11. A.m. There was huge crowd. People were buying entrance tickets and Some were sharing their excitement about the visit of the zoo. He bought our tickets and we went inside. There were a large number of people there. We first visited zoological garden. There I saw lake in which different types birds were swimming. In one corner of the garden there was a big tree on which a large number of monkeys and baboons were jumping. Some people threw bananas at them to which they immediately tried to catch by jumping down the branches. There were wild animals like lions, tigers, leopards, bears, elephants and tigresses in other enclosures. I was frightened of the roar of the lions, but at the same time it was happy to see the king jungle. I brought my phone out and snapped them. we moved to a big tank which was full of crocodiles and took pictures of them. I saw snakes like cobras and pythons too. We spent 3 hours in the zoo. I was so happy.

LIKE A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER I CAPTURED EVERY MOMENT WITH MY PHONE.
